Hi everyone, first post in this part of the forum :D

I've been commuting to work for a while now but it's not ideal with the 2 bikes I have (getting bashed about at work) so I've decided to get a Carrera Subway. These look really good at the minute as they're only £279.

I know halfords aren't that great so was wondering if anyone knew the best branch to use in my area. If you could share any experiences, which to use or avoid, then that would be great.

Thank you

    I've used Bishop and Durham, Bishop was one useful guy if you can find him, Whereas Durham seems all together better.

    Thanks, I was thinking either Durham or Team Valley as they are bigger branches. I have dealt with the Darlington store in the past and to be honest they were a nightmare!

    Team Valley is fine, closest bike shop to work so I tend to use it a fair bit.
    I used to just ride my bike to work but now I find myself going out looking for bigger and bigger hills.

    I pick it up in the morning from Team Valley, hopefully I've made a good choice in the shop and bike!
